In addition to the thread-local heaps, there is a global heap. The
garbage collector for this heap will use the method invented by
Kermany et al \cite{Kermany:2006:CCI:1133981.1134023}. It is also a
sliding garbage collector, except that it has some very good features,
including parallel and concurrent execution. These features allow us
to run the global garbage collector in multiple separate threads.
garbage collector for this heap will use a combination of the
traditional \emph{mark-and-sweep} collector and an ordinary memory
allocator, similar to the one used by the \clanguage{} functions
\texttt{malloc} and \texttt{free}.
